this is a 5B that we built a 36cc stroker motor for and custom built a modified body for oval just wanted everyone to see it, body is .040 aluminum we built it to match our big car and will be racing it at Timberline

That's looks really nice! Great job!

thanks I appreciate it took a little time and measuring to get the scaling right

Sweet man that car must really move out.

fsttoys · 01-16-2009, 11:04 AM

it is insane with how it runs

viperbill1963 · 01-16-2009, 02:27 PM

well how a video of the car in action

viperbill1963 · 01-16-2009, 02:31 PM

the body look great but might need some bracing on the rear to keep the lower panels in place and from flapping when in a race ,dont need a rear ender pushing the fender into the rear tire

the body is pretty stout its the same metal we use on our big cars but yes I got what you are saying with that big motor we should be in the front but thats a good dream and If I had a video I would be more than happy to post but I dont at least not yet

That is really sweet!

I'm wanting to do something similar with mine but I think I'm going to go Late Model. I found some .060 Lexan that I think will work well, be tough, and still allow me to use the regular Lexan paint.

Nice work!
